I assume you meant "python.exe -v". (But the .exe is not needed.)

I get the same sort of stuff. It seems Python is there and it works.

What's PyCharm and what error does it give? What does its Help section 
say about telling it where Python is? You might need support for that 
application rather than Python.

(Perhaps it expects python.exe in a default path. Go to any other 
location, and type 'python'. If it can't find it, then its path is not 
set up. You can fix that temporarily by typing:

   set path=c:\python\;%path%

then trying again. However this path variable 'belongs' to this command 
window and may not be seen by PyCharm if started from elsewhere. Setting 
it more globally is fiddly but there is plenty of info out there. The 
problem could be something else of course...)
